Ii is evident that the people Of Yank.
ton are uegieotjng a matter of import
ance in making no move to save for
pablo use the fair grounds and their
valuable improvements. All the build
ings and the fences are to be removed
and the grounds shorn OF their exhibition
facilities. A better effort would result
III saving this place of resort and
insuring to.our city regular animal ex-
hibitions. Besides, the grounds are
valuable for other usss-turf meetings
and tournament exhibitions, for example.
The Yankton winter carnival company
has decided to erect a toboggan slide
and skatipg rink on the school property
on Walnut street, north of the Rhine.
Work on the slide begius tomorrow and
will be pushed at once to completion.
The slide is to be $50 feet long on trestle
work and will be extended as far as pos
sible on the level. The highest portion
will be twenty feet from the ground and
this whole will be SO constructed as to
make danger impossible. The season
tickets for the slide will soon be placed
on sale, and the coming winter will be
made as pleasant as possible for young
people.
